    From the Ring:

    “He’s a f__king beast,” said Coyne, a 20-0 cruiserweight prospect who has recently dropped down to light heavyweight. “He’s been running guys out of here. Nobody under 175 pounds will spar with him.

    “I’ve sparred with heavyweights who can punch, including Mariusz Wach and Mike Perez, nobody has hit me as hard as Golovkin. His power is out of this world.”

    Golovkin’s punching prowess was on display – along with his underrated ring generalship – during his first four rounds of sparring with Imoesiri, a 6-foot-2 amateur heavyweight who was recently part of the L.A. Matadors semi-pro boxing squad.

    From the beginning of the first round, Golovkin gradually cut the ring off on Imoesiri, feinting and jabbing his way inside where he “tapped” the nimble 24 year old’s body with left hooks. (When I say “tapped” I mean that he didn’t appear to put much effort into the shots, however, the punches made a loud smacking noise when they landed – and Imoesiri noticeably winced in pain.)

    Golovkin stunned Imoesiri into the ropes with a lead right midway through the round, prompting the amateur standout fire back a four-punch combination with impressive hand speed. However, Golovkin blocked the shots and pushed the bigger man back into the ropes.

    The ring had become a very small space for Imoesiri within the span of four minutes (the length of all of Golovkin’s sparring rounds).

    “The dude can hit, I’m still getting used to it,” said Imoesiri, who like Coyne, is delightfully bright and articulate. “It’s crazy. I sparred with [undefeated WBA heavyweight beltholder] Alexander Povetkin and he never hurt me like this guy.

    “I must have done 50 rounds while in camp with Povetkin and it was three and half weeks before he hit me with something that made me hold on. With Golovkin I was ready to get out of the ring 45 seconds into our first round of sparring. He hit me with two lefts to the body in the identical spot and had me doubled over. I got through it but it’s hard to defend against 6-inch punches with that much pop. He backs me into a corner with just a jab.

    “That’s why I have to put him in with big guys,” said Sanchez. “He’s too relaxed when he spars with middleweights or junior middleweights. They can’t hurt him. It’s so easy he doesn’t bother to defend himself. He gets silly.

    Oh god. More hype for a fighter that has done nothing as a pro yet.

    Golovkin had over 300 fights as an amature and beat some Big names,he has never been knocked down in any of those fights so he has a Great Chin who ever fights him 2 things will happen they will get Ko'd or the fight goes the distance either way it wont be easy.!!!!

    We all have noticed that in his recent bouts, and so have the other beltholders in the division it seems.
    You can question the quality of his opposition, but not the way he dismissed them.

    Proksa will be the next one to notice.

    Chavez will move up to SMW and Martinez down to JMW while claiming he's a small MW in spite of the fact he weighs 175lbs mid camp and must walk around at at least 180lbs.

    That's the amatuers. Guys punch harder and there is no headgear and taking punches in the 8th, 9th, 10th rounds is never different then taking them in the first three rounds of and amatuer "fight". His chin is completely untested at even the B level of the pro game.

    Proska will be his best win if he can even beat the suspect prospect. Lets stop over rating fighters off their amatuer careers.

    Strum doesn't want to fight him. He has done nothing in the division besides managing to stop a well shot 154 pounder Ouma.

    It's really hard to be make GGG out to be Marvin Haglor when he's really only a prospect with a **** wet paper title. He's nobody in name and in the sport he's nothing but a prospect who has done nothing to earn a title shot.

    He has his HBO date this is his chance.

    He seems to have a Margarito-style chin: in the Ouma fight he blocked hundreds of shots with his face and kept walking like a drunken guy until he destroyed the jr middleweight guy...

    Is Golovkin overrated or he just do not know how to fight with lefthanded guys? Lets see it against ProspectProksa
